LEGENDARY WEAPONS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Final Fantasy X features many different unlockables. Some of these include
different items and aeons, but in all reality, probably the most interesting
unlockables found in FFX, other than aeons, is legendary weapons. These
weapons aren't just regular weapons you can buy and sell. These weapons
require vast amounts of traveling and energy placed into accomplishing the
tasks needed to acquire the legendary weapons. At first, when you obtain the
weapon itself, it is quite useless. But, every weapon features two power up
items that increase the quality of as well as strength of the weapon, making
it the only weapon needed for that particular character.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE CLOUDY/CELESTIAL MIRROR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before you are able to acquire any of the legendary weapons, you need to first
obtain two types of mirrors. First off, you must go to the Remiem Temple,
which is located in the Calm Lands, and locate a chocobo on the right hand
side. This will result in you and that chocobo to race on a spiral-like
structure on the track located under the temple. In order to acquire the
Cloudy Mirror, you need to simple defeat the chocobo in the race.
After receiving the cloudy mirror, head back to the beginning of the Macalania
woods, where the first save sphere is located. You should see a mother and her
son standing near that save sphere I just previously mentioned. After pressing
X and ignoring what she says, head to the Macalina Woods campsite and talk to
the man all the way at the right. After resuming speaking with him, head back
to the save sphere. If you didn't notice already, you should see a mysterious
glowing path., in which you must head up. Sooner or later, you should see a
small boy, in which you must commence speaking with him. Use the cloudy mirror
on the crystal, and it will magically transform into the Celestial mirror,
which is the key and the necessity in obtaining the party's legendary weapons.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TIDUS: CALADBOLG
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Probably my favorite ultimate weapon for the main reason that it is the most
fun in terms of obtaining this powerful weapon. In order to attain this
wonderful weapon, you must first start off my going to the calm lands.
Challenge and race the chocobo trainer and defeat her. After doing so, head to
the upper northwest section of the calm lands, where a guard was previously
standing and use the celestial mirror to obtain the Caladbolg.
Now, this weapon is currently rendered useless unless you obtain two special
items. These items are the Sun Crest, which is located in the Zanarkand Dome
where you fought Yunalesca, and the Sun Sigil is located in the Calm lands. In
order to retrieve the sigil, you must race the chocobo trainer in the Calm
lands and finish with a time of exactly 0:00.0, which may seem difficult, but
with some perseverance, it can be easily accomplished.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
YUNA: NIRVANA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nirvana may be one of the best bands in the world, but this weapon definitely
isn't one of the best weapons in the game. Saying this weapon is good compared
to the other legendary weapons is like saying Moses is Christian; it just
isn't true. Wait, wait, wait, don't get me wrong here. This weapon still has
one key feature in it that allows for practically unlimited amount of Ultima
and Holly distribution; the one MP ability. When you upgrade this weapon by
collecting the two power up items, you can cast even the most powerful magic
attacks with only one MP. In order to acquire Yuna's legendary weapon, you
must capture all of the nine types of fiends in the Calm Lands and return them
to the monster owner. By doing so, he will release a box containing the weapon
inside.
The Moon Crest, needed to power up the weapon, is located on the bitch of
Besaid Isle, and the Moon Sigil is obtained once you defeat every aeon at the
Remiem Temple.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AURON: MASAMUNE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Probably my second favorite weapon in terms of strength, the Masamune is not
only strong, but is rather simple to get. May I add that if you love power and
constantly raise that attribute for Auron, I suggest you make this one of
your "get-first" legendary weapons, as it is very easy to dismantle enemies
with its extreme power. But, before you are able to wield this legendary
weapon, you must first receive the rusty sword. Obtain this by heading off to
the calm lands, and then go to the eastern cliff of the Cavern of Stolen
Fayth. Then head off to the statue of Lord Mi'ihen on Mushroom Rock Road,
where access of this area was previously blocked by Clasko. After placing the
rusty sword before the statue, a glyph will appear. Touching this glyph allows
you to retrieve the Masamune.
The Mars Crest is located in the Oldroad, South of Mi'ihen Highroad. The Mars
Sigil can only be acquired once you capture ten monsters of 10 different
species in 10 different regions. Return to the monster owner and speak with
him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WAKKA: WORLD CHAMPION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wakka's legendary weapon is called 'World Champion.' If you haven't realized
this already, in order to acquire his weapon and needed power up, you must do
something involving Blitzball. Since you already obtained the Celestial
Mirror, you can just continue on by talking to the bartender of the Luca Caf┐.
Now, depending on your Blitzball status, she may or may not give the weapon to
you. If you haven't played enough games, she will reply to you:
"If you want to get your hands on that thing, you'll have to win more games."
Wow, what a bitch. Oh well, continue and do so; play blitzball until you
garner a lot more wins (I cannot give you a specific number, as it matters on
your current win/loss record).
The Jupiter Crest is located in Luca, inside locker in the Auroch's locker
room. The Jupiter sigil is offered as a prize in the blitzball league, but
only after winning the Attack, Status, and Aurochs Reel. So, keep on winning
the leagues until you garner all the main prizes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
KIMAHRI: SPIRIT LANCE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is somewhat of a decent weapon, but is also somewhat of a pain to get.
But, if you are a fan of collecting these legendary weapons, and want to raise
your party's ability to the maximum, continue on reading. Start off by heading
into the Thunder Plains. In here, you should see various Qactuar stones in
which you need to activate three of them. In order to activate them, you need
to stand in front of them, and press the [] button. This will release the
Qactuar spirit into the air. After activating three of them, you should then
witness a Qactuar ghost flying south of the Thunder Plains. Follow it to a
small ruined tower and press [] to activate the tower and revealing the
treasure chest containing the weapon.
The Saturn Crest is located in the columns in Mt. Gagazet, near where you
defeated Seymour. The Saturn Sigil is achieved after you capture all of the
blue butterflies without touching any red ones whatsoever in the butterfly
hunt game found in the Macalania Woods.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LULU: ONION NIGHT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Really, the trouble you receive getting this may not even be worth this
weapon, but if you just want to collect all of the weapons, start off by
heading to the Baaj Temple (where Tidus first woke up) and dive under water.
You then must defeat an all-might Geosgaeno, which is that same creature that
chased Tidus in the early part of the game, before meeting Rikku.
Geosgaeno:
If you have leveled up, protected yourself with armor, and obtained Rikku's,
Tidus', and Wakka's overdrive, this battle shouldn't be that difficult. Start
off by casting Hastega with Tidus on the entire party, which allows for easy,
multiple strikes. Heal when necessary and use everyone's overdrive to
dismantle this creature.
After defeating him, search the southern part of the circular underwater area
and find the weapon. The Venus Crest is located in the Farplane at Guadosalem,
and the Venus Sigil is a bitch to obtain. In order to acquire this sigil, you
need to evade the lighting in the Thunder Plains...200 consecutive times
without being hit once. Then go to the agency and retrieve the sigil from the
box. You now know why it really is not worth obtaining this sigil.
